If you want to take 10 years off your face but don’t want to go under the knife, there is a new product that might help – Active Chilean Rainforest Honey.

Used twice a day for 20 minutes, it is also said to be twice as good as normal moisturisers at reducing stretch marks, and for preventing sunburnt skin from peeling.

Doctors have warned over the safety of the Microneedle Therapy System.

The Microneedle Therapy System – also known as the Dermaroller – involves the face being numbed with an anaesthetic before it is massaged with a needle studded roller. This process is said to help the patient look younger by helping to improve collagen production in the skin and enhance local blood flow. This leaves the skin with a healthy glow and a more youthful looking appearance.

What constitutes the perfect belly button? A recent survey by the Countess of Chester NHS Foundation showed that women of black and Asian descent would most like to have a round innie belly button, whilst Caucasian women would prefer to have a vertical oval belly button. Of all the women surveyed, all wanted an ‘innie’ rather than an ‘outie’.
